THE COMING CARNIVAL.
Omcial Programme of the Week An
nounced by the Executive Committee.

The executive committee of the Coast
ing club held a special meeting Monday
evening and decided upon the details of the
programme for the carnival The week
OF sports will open Monday, February II
and close the Friday evening following
and with favorable weather the carnival
is sure to far surpass that of last winter in
every particular AT the outset. The com
miltee decided to erect Russian slide on
the lake with the idea that the Edmunds
and Myrrhline slides would not afford the
accommodations for the large number
of visitors expected. Owing to the
experience of last winter it was thought
best to have but one slide but to construct
that one on the Central dock and have
four chutes, which it is expected will
prove satisfactory in every way.
The committee have made Il careful in
vestigation of the list of sports available
and have so arranged the programme
rs to best suit the convenience
and pleasure of the greatest number
! The afternoon of the first day will be de
voted to COasting and tobOvganing, and in
the evening the Main street hill Will he
| formally opened with Nominations and
an elaborate pyroteChnical display.
| Tuesday morning there will be coasting
and tohoGganug, and in the afternoon
! there VIII ne lCeDOailuE ana SlclpnlnI on
/ tn" lake. In the evening will occur the
/ formal opening and illumination of the
various toboggan slides with an accom-
| panying pvrotechnical display.
"Wednesday morning there will be fancy
! skating and skating races at the ice rink,
and COasting and to oggiuing IN the var
lou, slides. In the afternoon there will
be iceboat races on the lake, while coast
Ing and tobogganing will be continued

There was very good audience at
the Y. NJ. G. A. Hall last evening to
hear Mr.. Sidney Dickinson's first lee
ture. 1t is long time since such an
interesting lecture was delivered in this
city. Mr.. Dickinson is gifted with rare
descriptive powers, and the beautiful
views thrown upon screen by the
stereopticon, managed by Mrs. Dickin-
son, were the subject of much admira-
ton. Some of them were highly colored.
Beginning at Antwerp, illustrations of
several noted buildings in that city were
shown, and the audience carried through
the Antwerp Art Gallery. Paintings of
the Flemish and Dutch schools were
contrasted, the lecture concluding with
views in st. Petersburg. The graphic
description by the lecturer held the
audience spellbound throughout. The
lecture was very instructive, and on
Thursday evening, when Mr.. Dickins on
gives the second of the series on the
Louvre of Paris, Madrid, Seville and
Cardiz, We expect to see the large hall
crowded. 1t is nothing more than the
lecturer deserves.
